To get the state button to display on your blog, simply do the following:
1. Left-click (PC) or Control-click on the image you want to use and save it.
2. In Blogger, go to your Overview page and choose Layout.
3. Click Add a Gadget on your sidebar.
4. Click on the plus sign for Image.
5. Cut and paste this link into the Link box - http://fifthinthemiddle.blogspot.com/p/blogs-by-state_9707.html
6. Make sure that the button in front of From Your Computer is chosen and click Browse. Find the image of the button that you saved in step 1. Click Save.
7. Once you've returned to the Layout window, click Save Arrangement. You're done!
I have tried to add the state image with link to my side panel a few times now... but blogger never allows it to work!!!

Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDo you know if you can do this with a WordPress blog?
ReplyDeleteI think that you would do it the same way that you add anything else to your sidebar. I'm not familiar with WordPress, so I'm not sure. Sorry!
DeleteThank you for making these cute buttons! I grabbed my state today:)
ReplyDeleteHow exciting, I just added the button to my blog! Thank you for making these cute state buttons!:)

Thanks. Wonder why it forced me to have a title.
ReplyDeleteYour blog has been so helpful with tips and information. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge for us newbies. :)
ReplyDeleteAny chance you could post the HTML code for the state blog logos? Its much easier to link to you that way. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI wasn't planning to since that would take a long time. Unless you know a shortcut to do 50 quickly.
DeleteThank you so much for this!

Mine tells me I have to add a title to the image. Any tips on how not to have to have a title on an image?
ReplyDeleteCopy and paste this code into the title box:
DeleteWhat code? I thought maybe you meant the button code, but the whole code just showed up as the title.
DeleteSo I'm trying the code, and it keeps showing up blank. It should be < - - space - - >
DeleteTry that code, but without the spaces except where I typed space.
Otherwise, go here and look at tip 1 - http://www.teachingsuperpower.com/2014/06/tiny-blogger-cheats.html
DeleteQuestion!!? If I live in NJ but teach in NY, what "blog button" should I grab? Or should I grab both?!
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
Whichever you want or both! :)
DeleteI love your brainchild but I am currently teaching overseas. I created my own version of your state button for my current country (the UAE). Would you be okay if I use, blog, and share my country version to bloggers here? I would give you credit for the original idea.
ReplyDeleteThat's fine with me!
ReplyDeleteI often wondered how people got the state image on their blog. Now that I discovered this I am elated. Now I can finally find bloggers in my home state. Thanks so much for this link up and easy to follow tutorial. AWESOME 123kteach
